Frequently Asked Questions

How can a criminal defense lawyer help me?

Many crimes in Georgia result in jail time, fines, and loss of certain privileges, such as driving. This is why it’s so important to hire a criminal defense attorney before you decide how to plead. When you have a lawyer defending you, there’s a chance your case will be dropped or charges reduced. This can help you avoid time in jail and other serious penalties, which can be nearly impossible to do on your own. So, if you want someone on your side who knows criminal law well, come to us for the defense you deserve.

What should I do after I’m arrested?

After being arrested, your first action should be to listen to the orders the police give so you don’t get more charges added for resisting arrest. Your next step should be to tell them you would like to remain silent until your lawyer is present. When you’re given the chance to make a phone call, contact our law firm to explain your situation and begin your criminal defense case. We’ve handled countless criminal cases in Georgia and pride ourselves on helping the accused retain their freedom whenever possible.

What is expungement?

If you have a criminal record, you should consider trying to get it expunged. This means you can seal or restrict your record so no one can see the crimes that have been expunged from it. Not all crimes qualify for expungement, as usually only misdemeanors and certain felonies are eligible. Violent crimes that victimized someone else, such as stalking or armed robbery, are not usually allowed to be expunged. However, if you were arrested but had charges dismissed or won your case, you can request expungement. Contact our criminal defense attorney to discuss your options for sealing your record.

Should I hire a lawyer for my DUI in Georgia?

A DUI can lead to months in jail and thousands of dollars in fines, so it’s definitely worth it to consider fighting this charge. Even if there is proof of a high BAC, a criminal defense lawyer may be able to prove that the arresting officer made a mistake or ignored your legal rights after pulling you over. You may be surprised at the defense angles we can prove for a charge like this, so do not give up hope if you’re facing a DUI. We can help.
